How is it okay to have a military-only event when veteran status is a protected class? Would it be okay to have a female-only or a gay-only event? Put it on the resume. Prepare to prove it?

Coming in late to the thread. Glad I found it. I had no idea United was doing this and got the invite all the sudden one morning. I thought that it was a prank at first. Anyways, got my slot for the Civilian day.
I immediately hired Cage Consulting. They came highly recommended. This opportunity is totally worth the prep work. 5100 TT 3300 PIC 2600 Turbine 4 yr degree + almost done with Master 121 FO 121 Instructor no LCA, CP, or management experience. VERY LUCKY Has United ever done something like this? Would this lead to the HOGAN and then later to Interview? Thanks for any info!! |

Just wondering if any veterans who did not have a military flying background, but have done plenty of civilian flying since getting out, actually got the invite.

Who else is going to Civilian Expo on the 19?

I'm going... Similar stats to you especially as it relates to instructor... Half the PIC... More TT and turbine and I am a CA within the last year. But based on some of the other civilian invites that have posted here a tier one candidate has about that with some other tangibles. I have approx four recs which gets you the max points in that area. I spent $$ on Cage two months ago to make sure my qualifications were presented properly and I think it made a difference as I had no idea this job fair was coming ... Also achieved 1000 TPIC recently.

We had a 57 y/o dude and several early 50,late 40’s folks in my BI class. The age # isn’t going to keep UAL from hiring you.

They are asking questions that they want you to answer in a certain way so that they can check the box and say "wow he obviously wants to be here because he not only answered it correctly but he took the time to learn our goofy system." It is 100% a game and you either play it or you don't.
You need to do prep to be on the same level as your competition. It is a small price to pay for the added confidence and knowing that you aren't making the recruiters ears bleed with your chuck yeager story about flying around a thunderstorm. It is insane not to do it. Emerald Coast does webinars where you get to watch other people and it will open your eyes to how much you suck. The recruiters will do a mini interview during these events. Tell us about yourself (2-4 min on you), a few TMAAT, and finally "why united"... it is the same thing that you will get during the real interview with the same people across the table. Answer the TMAAT in the STAR format and it helped me to always end each one with what you or your company took away from the event to check the box on the R. All these companies will get you there. Cage is thrown around a lot too. They will give you slightly conflicting gouge on how to answer certain things but if you get to that point you are well prepared and can probably not sweat the minutia. Dress to impress and don't ask questions answered with a simple google search. This job is worth the effort. |
